      When installing the KeystoneJS project they use MongoDB as a dependency. I get this following error:

      trout@Development:~/keystone4$

      { [Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

      js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

      I found a reference to this Stack Overflow discussion:
      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28651028/cannot-find-module-build-release-bson-code-module-not-found-js-bson

      To fix the issue:
      cd ~/keystone4/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson/ext/
      nano index.js

      change this line:
      bson = require('../build/Release/bson');
      to this line:
      bson = require('../browser_build/bson');
